The Republic of TAKTIC-70 is a titanic, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 10.307 billion TAKTIC-70ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 41.2%.

The powerhouse TAKTIC-70ian economy, worth 643 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,419 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The sudden rash of anti-drug laws has left everyone dazed and confused, even in the most hardened climate scientists break down at the sound of a single drop of rain, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, and a tax exemption has created a new hunger for octogenarian millionaires dating women 60 years their younger. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TAKTIC-70's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

TAKTIC-70 is ranked 261,767^th in the world and 1^st in Temple for Most Cultured, scoring 61 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
